Finding the right fit in technical recruitment…
Recruiting for highly specialised engineering roles is never just about matching skills to a job description – it’s about aligning expertise, experience, and expectations with the unique challenges of the industry.
Take power systems and protection engineering, for example.
Candidates need deep technical knowledge, but also the problem-solving mindset to navigate complex grid challenges, evolving energy policies, and emerging tech like AI and cybersecurity.
I recently reviewed a candidate with an impressive background in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, and Renewable Energy.
An ECSA-registered engineer with hands-on experience in BESS, grid-tied systems, and power management solutions.
The right knowledge? ✅
The right mindset? ✅
But the real challenge?
Ensuring the role and company provide the right growth trajectory to keep top talent engaged.
Recruiting is more than placing a candidate.
It’s shaping careers and building high-performing teams.
We always put in the effort to get it right – understanding both the company’s needs and the candidate’s aspirations.
But recruitment isn’t an exact science, and despite our best efforts, we’re not always successful.
That said, we keep refining, learning, and pushing forward to make the best matches possible.
